Michael Hill International Ltd

Apparel & Accessories RetailersVerified

Michael Hill International has a market price of 0.365 AUD and a market cap of 140.47 million AUD, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 66.92 and a price-to-book ratio of 0.82. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.13, and its current ratio is 1.76, indicating moderate liquidity and a capital structure that is somewhat leveraged. The company's return on equity is 1.23%, and its return on assets is 0.4%, both of which are below the typical thresholds for strong performance in the Apparel & Accessories Retailers industry. The operating margin is 2.75% (calculated from operating income of 17.72 million AUD on revenue of 643.66 million AUD), and the net profit margin is 0.33% (calculated from net income of 2.10 million AUD on revenue of 643.66 million AUD), suggesting that the company is underperforming in terms of profitability relative to industry norms. The company's revenue is concentrated in three countries: Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, with no disclosed breakdown of revenue by segment or geography. This lack of diversification could expose the company to regional economic fluctuations and regulatory changes. The company's revenue growth is not disclosed in the provided data, but the operating cash flow of 55.07 million AUD and free cash flow of 57.51 million AUD suggest that the company is generating positive cash from operations. However, the capital expenditure of -10.13 million AUD indicates that the company is not investing in new assets at a significant level. The risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company has a negative net cash position after subtracting total debt, which could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations. The dilution risk is low, and there is no indication of near-term dilution pressure. Recent events include analyst estimates with a mean price target of 0.75 AUD and a mean recommendation of 2.00 (1=strong buy, 5=strong sell). There are no strong-buy recommendations, one buy recommendation, and no hold recommendations, suggesting a cautious outlook from analysts.
